追尋科技足跡:你所不了解的那些奇觀

Computers existed around 125 B.C.
公元前125年就有計(jì)算機(jī)了
The Antikythera mechanism is an ancient geared computing device that was used to calculate astronomical positions and that mystified scientists for over a century.
安提基奇拉機(jī)械裝置是一種古老的齒輪計(jì)算設(shè)備,用來(lái)計(jì)算天文上的各種位置。這一裝置已經(jīng)困惑了科學(xué)家們長(zhǎng)達(dá)一個(gè)世紀(jì)。
A dial on the front of the device probably carried at least three hands, one indicating the date and the other two indicating the positions of the Sun and the Moon. The device was also probably used to predict solar eclipses and indicate other planetary motions.
這個(gè)裝置的正面有個(gè)刻度盤(pán),盤(pán)上至少有三根指針,一根用來(lái)指示日期,其余兩根用來(lái)表示太陽(yáng)和月亮的位置。這一裝置也有可能被用來(lái)預(yù)測(cè)日食和其他天體活動(dòng)。
